Much of the oil and gas in Illinois, Michigan, Appalachian basins eastern North America is thought to be derived from Devonian shale that within these (for example, Milici others, 2003; Swezey, 2002, 2008, 2009; Swezey 2005, 2007). As strata were buried by younger sediments, was subjected great temperature pressure, some areas crossed a thermal maturity threshold began generate oil. With increasing burial (increasing pressure), this oil-generating another natural gas. Knowledge therefore...

This map sheet with accompanying Geographic Information System (GIS) project is an update of the existing U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Conterminous Coal Fields map. was compiled using data primarily from USGS National Resource Assessment (NCRA) and information other published maps. The five regions examined by NCRA (Eastern, Gulf Coast, Interior, Rocky Mountain, Northern Great Plains) constituted 93 percent coal production at time assessments. shows aerial extent, rank, province, name...

The VA-08 Mercury Deposition Network (MDN) site, southwest of Culpeper, Virginia, was established in autumn 2002. This along with nearby VA-28 (~31 km west) at Big Meadows Shenandoah National Park, fills a spatial gap the Mid-Atlantic region MDN network and provides Hg deposition data immediately west Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Results for Culpeper site from 2002 to end 2006 suggest that highest mercury (Hg) (up 5.0 µg/m2 per quarter 6.5-12.6 annual deposition) is measured during...

In 2004, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) completed an assessment of undiscovered oil and gas potential portion Michigan Basin. For this assessment, Basin includes most State Michigan, as well parts Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Wisconsin. The was based on geologic elements each six total petroleum systems defined in basin, including (1) hydrocarbon source rocks (source-rock maturation generation migration), (2) reservoir (sequence stratigraphy petrophysical properties), (3) traps...
